Dear 8th Grade Parent/Guardian:
Northview will be having The Academic Excellence Fair on March 3, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 PM. This year the 8th grade students will be required to complete a science project for display during the fair. Students will be required to either:
- design and carry out a scientific investigation,
- or complete research on an 8th grade science topic and create a visual display.
Students will be given additional information and guidance on their projects between now and the due date, but will not be given class time to work on the project. Students will be required to complete the Academic Excellence Fair science project outside of class. If a student needs to use resources at school (computers, science equipment), the student can make arrangements to stay after school with his or her science teacher.
Students may complete this project on their own or in a pair with one other student. Groups larger than two students will not be allowed. The presentation must be completed on tri-fold board, in Power Point, or other similar method.
When helping to guide your student through this project, you can find large amounts of tips and project ideas at your local library and online. Here are just a few excellent places to get you started:
